vote often?

Cavalier of the Year voting ends in a couple days, and I've been tracking the results as they go. And I have to admit I'm not especially happy with what I see. The way things have played out in the voting pattern suggests shenanigans; specifically, the possibility of cheating and voting multiple times.

The absolute last thing I want to do is throw out a result just because I "don't like" what I see. The second to last thing I want to do is be played for a bloody fool and let some asshole decide my award - yes it's just a little thing but I take it seriously - by spending ten minutes applying votes to the same candidate.

I'm gonna ask that people do me a favor: in the comments section of this post, post who you voted for, and if you found the contest via a link, post the page it came from. Use a name - I don't care if you use a pseudonym or Internet handle or whatever, but don't post as "Anonymous." The results of that will determine whether or not I have to start over. Sorry to have to do this but I think it's necessary.

Which is the most accurate depiction of what happened on Sunday?

I am a Virginia fan and this is my Blawgg. I began life as a diehard Michigan fan, and orange joined the maize and blue in my blood when, as a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed first year, I saw my first UVA football game on a hot September afternoon.
Here you will find impassioned and monumentally biased coverage of 'Hoos football in the fall, basketball in the winter, baseball and lacrosse in the spring, and everything else when the mood strikes me.
